If you want heavy & melodic, the new Killswitch Engage album is SUPERB.

Mastodon - Blood Mountain or Crack the Skye - Blood mountain isn't on Prime, so Crack the Skye it is! I've tried Mastodon a few times, and it has never really clicked. I get that it's pretty good, but no particular song while listening to them has made me stop and take notice.. haven't heard this album before, and i did actually stop and listen to a few of the bits in it. Enjoyed the track The Czar.
Actually, now near the end of the album, this one has been much better than previous ones I've listened to.
Elder - Dead Roots Stirring - Liked this, has been added to regular album list.. Particularly liked the Dead Roots track
QOTSA - Songs For the Deaf - I wasn't really into QOTSA until i had to learn a couple of songs for a band i was subbing in. Made me listen & appreciate this album in particular. Its not a regular listen, but it should be.
Every Time I Die - The Big Dirty - Not a huge fan of the screamy vocals.. didn't like the first track, but was quite getting into it by the end of the album, i'd listen to this again in the right mood.
Hatfield and the North - The Rotters Club - .... Not what i was expecting after reading the titles you put down
Faith No More - Angel Dust - Faith no more are another of those bands that i've listed to many times but it's never struck me as must listen stuff. Still, its enjoyable, but to me not memorable. Station.
Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick - Not sure i've ever knowingly listened to Jethro Tull. Genuinely enjoyed that album.
@fob Thick As A Brick was a great album with great album art.
For my choice, I'd go for Extreme's Take Us Alive DVD (also an album). My most played DVD. Nuno's live playing is breathtaking and flawless. It has everything. Rhythm and lead are a combination of great groove, technique, invention, feel and rock attitude. The whole band are great.

@stratman - that's ok you can't find it, i'm pretty sure i've got the CD somewhere.. Extreme are one of my favourite bands..
@Heel - I heard a tool track a while ago, doesn't that mean i've heard all of their material now?
Started Tuesday with some Rachmaninov. Now on to Reuben..

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

The last of their "original lineup" albums, I'd say it's their best, though Younger Than Yesterday is close. Wasn't Born to Follow is probably the most well known track here as it was in Easy Rider but the whole album is great. If you listen to the bonus tracks, Moog Raga is a insta-skip for me personally, but hey. Also, there is a hidden track of a studio argument which goes some way to explaining why the band went from 4 to 2 members during the making of the album (starts at 51:24 in that video)
